[QUOTE="D*N*R*, post: 700414, member: 34159"] We all have our favorite but that isn't the question. I think it has to start with recoil. A 6mm dust plume does the same damage as a 30 cal.(((what can you shoot well and- enjoy shooting -)))...... Impact energy (with the rite bullet) Which weight and impact speed will do the job. Example: for deer .243 win. 300 yrds. .270 win. 500yrds.MAX. aim for 1200 ft lbs at impact for a little comfort zone. And i think the most ignored thing is bullet speed and drop. Mostly because it starts making alot of favorite calibers look a little weak. Distance guessing on the fly in hunting conditions accounts for more misses than buck fever i think. Common calibers. Dont get fancy unless it will do you some good. $$ the more practicing the better. Any help with my answer will be appreciated [/QUOTE]
